This scientifically proven program\, developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn\, PhD\, has been shown to reduce stress\, decrease chronic pain\, and increase personal well-being. \nThe next MBSR series will meet for 8 weeks on Monday evenings both in person and online from 6:30 – 9:00 PM Pacific Standard Time.

Research findings indicate that when practiced regularly\, skills developed in this course can literally rewire the brain\, resulting in improved health and overall well-being. \nRoutinely living life on autopilot\, being unaware of how stressed out we are\, does not serve us well. Our body\, mind\, and soul pay an increasingly high price\, indicated by symptoms of compromised physical\, mental\, emotional\, and psychological health. \nScientifically-proven benefits of MBSR include:\n\n\nLowered stress levels \n\n\nReduced chronic pain (back pain\, headaches\, hypertension\, etc.) \n\n\nDecreased worry\, anxiety\, and depression \n\n\nFewer sleep problems \n\n\nImproved emotional regulation \n\n\nSharpened mental focus and enhanced attention \n\n\nImproved immune system functioning \n\n\nHelp with life-threatening medical illnesses \n\n\nMore satisfying relationships \n\n\nBetter ability to cope with grief and loss \n\n\nSupport for recovery from substance abuse \n\n\nIncreased joy\, resilience\, and compassion \n\n\nIn the MBSR course\, you will learn meditation practices to develop mindfulness\, also referred to as present-moment awareness.  Through instruction and daily practice\, you will develop the capacity to notice when you’re stressed out and learn skills to take better care of yourself\, minimize the negative effects of stress in the moment\, and experience greater well-being. \nThe MBSR class offers instruction in:\n\n\nmindfulness meditation (sitting and walking) \n\n\nmindfulness practices for daily life \n\n\nbody awareness \n\n\nmindful yoga \n\n\nself-reflective inquiry \n\n\n​You’ll be supported throughout the program to develop your own mindfulness practice to sustain you long after this class ends. \nMBSR Course Details\nSessions: This class consists of 8 class sessions\, a 6-hour retreat\, and daily home practices. Instruction materials for the class are emailed or sent via US Post. \nFEE & REGISTRATION\nTuition for the class is: \n$395 +tax and fees. \n$470 with CE +tax and fees. \nProfessionals can earn up to 26 Continuing Education Credits for an additional $75 CE Credits (therapists\, counselors\, social workers\, RNs\, CDPs\, NDs\, translators\, and WA court interpreters). \nREGISTER HERE\n  \n  \n
